"We love this Central District place for its jerk fried chicken, mac and cheese, and rum punch. But the sandwiches are a must-order, made with soft French bread that acts as a safety net for juicy pork, crunchy slaw, and hot sauces that don’t skimp on the garlic. With just a few tables inside, this spot is best suited for takeout, or a quick midday meal with coworkers who you might want to see outside of Zoom." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"For something a little different than the typical fried chickens dredged in flour, one might want to check out the mind-blowing birds at this Belltown restaurant from chef Trey Lamont. The famed half-fried chicken here is covered in jerk spices and pairs well with the tropical rum cocktails on the menu." - Jade Yamazaki Stewart
"I'm eyeing the Central District's Jerk Shack Kitchen meal package that feeds 10: for $200 you get 50 jerk wings, two large orders of mac and cheese, five jerk burritos, and a packet to make a gallon of lychee lemonade; it's pick-up only at 11 a.m. on Sunday." - Harry Cheadle
"In Belltown I reported that owner Trey Lamont was unable to secure a long-term lease for the original Jerk Shack location and has permanently closed that site, though he still operates the counter-serve Jerk Shack Kitchen in the Central District and hopes to expand." - Harry Cheadle
"Located across the street in Midtown Square, Trey Lamont’s Jerk Shack Kitchen remains on the block and is another Black-owned restaurant mentioned as part of the corner’s dining scene even as plans for Ms. Helen’s fell through." - Harry Cheadle
